On the 8th at Tokyo Dome in Japan, the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) first-round Group C pool game between Korea and Taiwan was held.

Korea suffered a close 8-6 loss to Japan the day before (the 7th). Having previously beaten the Czech Republic 11-4, Korea moved to 1-1 and must go all out in the remaining games against Taiwan and Australia.

In the top of the third with no outs, Korea's Kim Do-young handled a grounder to third by Taiwan's Lin Chia-cheng and flashed an awkward smile. 2026.03.08
